This strike of more than 30,000 workers comes at a time when Boeing’s already not meeting production goals. And it will also slow the making of everything that goes inside planes, as well.

Boeing has faced scrutiny for the safety of its 737 MAX planes, but problems with its Starliner crew module have also stranded astronauts at the ISS.

Some trace Boeing’s problems back to the ’90s.
